What reading level is Ballads of the Occident book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is the day of execution, just prior to the dread march to Calvary; here once more he shows an indomitable spirit, proud to the very death. The final scene is upon the cross, where, witness- ing the sufferings and marvelous magnanimity of the dying Christ, he at last succumbs to the mighty power of love.
Crouching low, but not with fear, A robber earthward bends his ear; The distant footfalls nearer grow — Hesitating, stumbling, slow; Then quicker, as the 'lated wight Beholds each cheerful, t...winkling light ; Jerusalem lies at his feet.
Anon he'll tread the lively street; Soon Olivet will be descended, Kedron crossed, his journey ended; And, as he nears her looming walls.
The gladdening sight his strength recalls.
But hark ! What awful shrieks are those That break the peaceful night's repose?
Two darksome forms, like goblins grim, Weird antics cut in the starlight dim : (120) The Thief on the Cross. I2i Advancing — retreating — a parry, a thrust, Now having the 'vantage, now prone in the dust — Ha!
